Class SnapshotJTransaction

java.lang.Object

org.jsimpledb.JTransaction

org.jsimpledb.SnapshotJTransaction

public class SnapshotJTransaction
extends JTransaction

A "snapshot" JTransaction that persists indefinitely.

SnapshotJTransactions hold a "snapshot" some portion of the state of a JTransaction for later use. Each SnapshotJTransaction contains its own set of "snapshot" JObjects that are (usually) copies of the corresponding "real" database JObjects. Because a SnapshotJTransaction lives indefinitely, these objects can be used just like normal Java objects, outside of any regular transaction. In addition, JSimpleDB features such as indexing, listeners, validation, etc. also continue to work normally.

For convenience, each JTransaction has a default SnapshotJTransaction instance associated with it; JObject.copyOut() copies objects there.

More general usage is possible via JTransaction.createSnapshotTransaction(). For example, for KVDatabases that support it, using the key/value store snapshot returned by KVTransaction.mutableSnapshot() allows an efficient copying of the entire database.

Method Detail

isSnapshot

public boolean isSnapshot()

Description copied from class: JTransaction

Determine whether this instance is a SnapshotJTransaction.

Overrides:

isSnapshot in class JTransaction

Returns:

true if this instance is a SnapshotJTransaction, otherwise false

getTransaction

public SnapshotTransaction getTransaction()

Get the SnapshotTransaction associated with this instance.

Overrides:

getTransaction in class JTransaction

Returns:

the associated core API snapshot transaction

reset

public void reset()

Delete all objects contained in this snapshot transaction and reset it back to its initial state.

It will contain schema meta-data but no objects.

commit

public void commit()

Overrides:

commit in class JTransaction

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always

rollback

SnapshotJTransactions do not support this method and will always throw UnsupportedOperationException.

Overrides:

rollback in class JTransaction

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Determine whether this transaction is still valid.

SnapshotJTransactions are always valid.

Overrides:

isValid in class JTransaction

Returns:

true always
